Gluten-Free

Recipes designated as "Gluten-Free" are made with ingredients that are naturally gluten free and/or packaged products that are labeled gluten free by their manufacturer.

Special care is necessary when checking product ingredient lists since gluten is found in many foods. Unless specifically labeled gluten free you must take special care, and must be aware of the risk of cross-contamination.

Because the products in these recipes were evaluated using manufacturer-provided nutrition information, and product formulations can change at any time, Publix cannot guarantee the accuracy of the nutrition information. Customers are encouraged to read the product labels to obtain the most accurate nutrition information. Any concerns regarding the gluten status of a product should be confirmed by contacting the manufacturer.
